The Dangerous Life and Ideas of Diogenes the Cynic by Jean-Manuel Roubineau, 2023
An engaging look at the founder of one of the most important philosophical schools of ancient Greece. The ancient philosopher Diogenes--nicknamed "The Dog" and decried by Plato as a "Socrates gone mad"--was widely praised and idealized as much as he was mocked and vilified.
